There's a nice panoramic view all round on the photograph below, but what really interested me on this view was the number of mounds in the earth especially in the foreground sections of the photograph.
Perhaps Happyman will have an idea as to them being anything special or not.
You cannot help but notice the number of dry stone walls separating the various fields as well. It's quite amazing how many of these walls there are in these places. They seem to be well maintained in most areas too. Can you imagine the costs that would be involved today to build those from scratch.
Astounding.
Some nice looking property and buildings about in general. I noticed there is trace of something written on the roof of the building in the lower right of the photograph, but I cannot make it out myself.
Any body got a clue?
Again, another really nice view, attractive buildings and even a small touring caravan tucked into the corner of a field to the left of the photograph.
The dry stone walls once again being very apparent.
This one taken from town shows a brilliant display of Ivy growing on the front of the building, there's also signs of a tree sprouting from the roof.
It's amazing what you see on these trips.
The railway bridge here had it's fair share of growth, but the actual size of the tree growing out of the brickwork was more than surprising. To the left of the tree there is apparent growth from what can be little more than a crack in one of the bricks.
It wouldn't take nature all that long to take everything back if we left it unchecked.
I can imagine all that growth over the ruins of Angkor Wat starting off similar to the above, and look what happened there.
These were a block of somewhat dingy looking cottages in what appeared to be an un-named and not very well maintained village high on the moors.
Each to their own I suppose. They were certainly well built, but seemed to lack the general care and 'spit and polish' we had been accustomed to seeing on our travels.
I reckon they will be very warm in winter though once a coal or wood fire is blazing away, they all appear to be geared up for living flame, that's for sure.
I can't imagine where pigeons rested before we built houses.
You never see them in trees.
